Glacier Lodge*"The Jewel of the Sierra"

Welcome to Glacier Lodge

A small touch of civilization at
the edge of wilderness...

Glacier Lodge, nestled at 8,000 feet on Big Pine
Creek, is gateway to some of the best hiking, fishing, and
climbing in the country.

Silence. It's the first thing you hear
after you take a deep breath of mountain air, filling your lungs
deeply with the healthy pine scent and letting it out slowly. You
can hear the sweet breeze through the pine trees and feel it's
coolness on your bare skin. You see into forever and the
mountains soar toward the bluest blue sky you've ever seen.

Fishing and "Kodak Moments"
are everywhere! With over a hundred thousand acres of wilderness terrain
to explore, the seasonal colors of Spring, Summer and Autumn are always
bursting at the seams. The John Muir Trail, the Palisades Glacier (the
most southern glacier in the United States) and Temple Crag are all
a short hike away.

Wilderness permits are required year-round for all overnight trips into the Golden Trout, John Muir, Ansel Adams, Hoover Wilderness and Mt. Whitney Zones. These are not available at Glacier Lodge or in Big Pine. They must be obtained at the USDF in bishop. Click here for more information on wilderness permits.

Wilderness & Guided Tours

Private guided tours are available from experienced, world-class
mountain climbers such as John Fischer and Todd Vogel. Discover for
yourself the hidden and challenging wonders of the Sierra Nevada Range.

If you prefer, the Glacier Pack train (not affiliated) with their team of
horses and mules can take you and your party into the depths of the
Eastern Sierras. There are activities for everyone to enjoy!
